AIR CLEANER
AIR CLEANER.
Service the air cleaner frequently to
prevent clogging of the element & screen and to prevent
dust and dirt from entering the engine. Dust by- passing
an improper or damaged air filter can quickly damage
an engine. Always make certain covers and air cleaner
connections are tightly sealed to prevent entry of dirt.
NOTE: SNOW KING MODELS DO NOT HAVE AIR
FILTERS DUE TO THE CLEAN ENVIRONMENT THEY
OPERATE IN AND TO PREVENT AIR CLEANER
FREEZE UP.
If a loss of power occurs, inspect the air filter for clogging
before making any adjustments.
NOTE:
Use factory recommended parts only.
POLYURETHANE-TYPE AIR CLEANER.
This
serviceable air cleaner utilizes a polyurethane element
which will clog with use. The element should be cleaned
and serviced in the following manner.
Wash element in a detergent and water solution and
squeeze (dont twist) until all dirt is removed. Rinse
thoroughly.
Wrap in clean cloth and squeeze (dont twist) until
completely dry.
Clean air cleaner body and cover. Dry thoroughly.
Re-oil element by applying generous quantity of engine
oil to all sides. Squeeze vigorously to distribute oil and
to remove excess oil.
When reassembling polyurethane type air cleaners,
replace in the same order as pictured above.
Flocked screen elements may be cleaned by blowing
compressed air through the screen from the back side.
If screen can not be cleaned with this procedure, it
should be replaced with a new screen.
NOTE:
Polyurethane type filters will lose effectiveness
if stored for extended periods of time, due to oil migration
out of the filter. Re-oil filter as necessary.
PAPER TYPE AIR CLEANER.
The paper type air
cleaners found on some HXL, TVS and TVXL840-850's
should be replaced once a year or more often in
extremely dirty or dusty conditions.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN OR OIL PAPER
FILTER'S.
NEVER RUN THE ENGINE WITHOUT THE
COMPLETE AIR CLEANER INSTALLED ON THE
ENGINE IF SO EQUIPPED.
KLEEN-AIRE
®
CANISTER STYLE DUAL STAGE AIR
CLEANER.
This air cleaner consists of a paper type
element with a polyurethane pre-cleaner around it. For
servicing the assembly see instructions under Paper

Be sure to clean base and cover thoroughly before
installing new paper filter.
NOTE:
When installing a new foam pre-cleaner always
turn it inside out before installing around the paper
element to prevent gaps between paper element and
pre-cleaner.
